Teacher of the Week: Teri Butler

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — “I think kids naturally like science” is the approach Teri Butler takes as she teaches biology at Topsail High School.

“I don’t think it’s tough for them,” she adds saying that she has spent more than 20 years teaching kids and believes they come to class filled with natural curiosity.

Her room is filled with colorful walls, interesting diagrams and even pool noodles to help her students connect her lessons to their real lives.

Genetics is her favorite subject to teach and believes it is when kids stop memorizing and start being interactive.

While she hopes her kids remember her lessons as they prepare to graduate, she also says she hopes they learn to be good stewards of the world.
